TENDIANAI admit that being a waitress wasn’t all I thought it would be and not even my excitement could stop the tiredness from sipping through my bones as I hopped from table to table, taking orders. It was wonderful that I did not have to struggle with some of the Italian dishes that were ordered and although I hardly understood what they were about, I had a very retentive memory and it served me really well.It was time for my lunch break as Luca called it and I was allowed to watch other waitresses do the job. I was pretty sure I did great judging from the look of Luca’s face“You can admit it, you know” I said to him as I sat beside him with bacon in my hand.“Admit what?” He asked meHis eyes were twinkling which meant he knew exactly what I was talking about“That I make a great waitress” I said, smiling at him“The deal was for you to survive for a week and not before. If you are still here after one week then I will admit that you make a great waitress” he repliedI laughed

TWELVEDIANAHe had his fingers in my hair touching ever so lightly that for a moment, I forgot that I wasn’t supposed to be here with himSomething incredibly dangerous flicked through me as he said those words. Dante was absolutely dangerous and bad for my health but I wanted him with such raw intensity and what was a little bit of fun if he wanted to have it.I remained where I was, staring at me with the desire evident in my eyes. I was an adult and quite free to do whatever I wanted with whomever I wanted including a hulk with a ponytail like Dante and I actually was dying to run my fingers through that hair.He murmured and then crashed his lips unto mine with my eyes closing of their own volition. I moaned and threw my hands around his neck, touching the nape where his hair began; it was as soft as I had imagined.He tasted like wine mixed with something really spicy that reminded me that I was in the bathroom making out with a man I hardly knew.It was fun and it wouldn’t hurt

FOURTEENDIANAI had considered not ever setting foot in Luca’s restaurant anymore and maybe not ever seeing Dante again. After what had happened and my more than disgraceful walk out of the restaurant that day, I had thought maybe I would bump into him again. I had even gone as far as asking the receptionist if a certain Dante had a reservation at the hotel to which she replied in the negative.So I had simply just made out with an attractive man whom I just met and hardly knew anything about. It was unlike me to even do anything like this but there was something irritatingly attractive and absolutely compelling about him that would make me do anything that he asked for.The next day, I had gone to the restaurant much to the surprise of Luca who bless him had asked me if I was alright. I was sure he maybe had seen the footage from the dashcam of Dante kissing me and me being the wanton trollop that I was but he said nothing about it. The day had gone on really uneventful without the

SIXTEENDANTEIt was weekend soon and I was on my way to pick up Diana so she could meet my cousin who I had told about our arrival. He was to wait in Luca’s restaurant while I picked her up from the hotel and together we could all get a cab to the destination of the houses he was going to be showing her.“Why can’t you just pick her up with your car or something; it is better than taking cabs at each destination” He suggested.“As much as I would like to cruise the city in my baby; you seem to have forgotten the goal at hand here and the fact that she isn’t supposed to figure out who we are yet till the deed is done”“And how is a car going to disrupt the plan? I really don’t know why we aren’t kidnapping her right away” He said, scoffing“You do not understand how revenge goes. I do not just want her kidnapped, I want her broken by the time I am done and begging for death and then I am going to satisfy her plea” I told him“Damn, you are ruthless. I wonder if you had been… never min

EIGHTEENDANTE“You are a good judge of character” Alejandro commented as we watched Diana peruse the house, her eyes glittering with excitement“She is a debutante bitch, they all want their lives seeping in anywhere they go and she is no different” I told him.“It would seem that she likes you” He mentioned.My hands stilled in my pocket at his comment. As much as that had been the goal the whole time, I did not want anyone knowing of that except me and if Alejandro had already noticed then…“I think I understand your plans for her now and I have to say that you are the fucking OG” he whispered, laughing.I smiled at him not feeling up to the praise he had just heaped on me. I was beginning to think about how unnecessary it was to involve an innocent girl into…Shut the fuck up, Dante! I berated myselfIf you fucking want the throne that you have worked so hard for; then one girl is nothing, my head screamed.“I want you to know that I am down for anything you have planned and I pro
